Troubleshooting & Important information


If NVIVO is not appearing in Software Center or Self-Service, and the person is off campus, use TeamViewer or get the person to connected to Drexel's VPN and just leave the computer on and connected to VPN for 30 minutes to an hour, and then try again. Have Software Center and Self-Service closed during this time, and make sure the computer doesn't go to sleep. NVIVO should appear.
